One Thousand Five Hundred Seventy-Eight Parents

Not long ago, Mei Duo ran away from home. Fortunately, it's not the kind of disappearing without a sound, otherwise Paul would have to report directly to the crime.

At the beginning, Paul started to be able to contact Mei Duo, but Mei Duo refused to disclose his location, just saying that he needed to be quiet; Paul was always worried about Mei Duo's safety outside alone, so he could only kill him in a series of deductions. Duo come back quickly, everything can be solved face to face.

The teenagers and girls in the rebellious period of their youth were naturally unwilling to compromise easily, and then Mei Duo simply turned off the phone.

For Paul, worrying about the safety of Meadows is the top priority; but in addition, Paul also began to blame himself severely, believing that he still failed to establish a good communication bridge with Meadows, which led to Meadows When he ran away from home, he took all the responsibility on himself.

There's something special about Paul and Meadow. Now that Meadows is only fifteen years old, she is still a minor. The custody of Meadows belongs to her mother, Rebecca, but Rebecca respects Meadows' wishes and agrees with Paul's sincerity, so she agrees Meadows moves to Los Angeles.

Regardless of whether something happened to Meadow, if Rebecca learns of this situation, she can completely order Meadows to return to Hawaii, which also means that Paul and Meadows can no longer be together. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Paul, and he even began to doubt himself: Is it more appropriate for Meadows to stay by her mother's side?

In fact, Meadows' running away from home was the most recent thing. Paul informed Renly about it immediately. On the one hand, he was expecting that Meadows might be willing to answer Renly's phone calls, or even contact Renly directly; Also seeking advice from Renly, hoping to find a solution.

Paul, who was filming on the "Fast and Furious 7" crew, seemed restless, and Renly could only comfort Paul: Rebellious teenagers are unpredictable and unappeasable. As a parent, the only thing they can do What I do is to wait quietly by the side, and then pray that everything will settle down.

Paul didn't know how to be a proper father, and neither did Renly.

Since yesterday, Meadows was officially shut down, and Paul was even more chaotic; he didn't expect that Meadows would appear in front of Renly's eyes less than twenty-four hours later.

So, as Renly said, he was on Paul's side, and there was no way he could help Meadow hide her whereabouts. At the very least, he needed to tell Paul that Meadows was fine.

At this moment, Meadow, who was standing beside Renly, had no idea that Paul was suffering, and the fifteen-year-old girl was enjoying her own free time.

As much as Renly wanted to reprimand Meadows, on second thought, why wasn't every teenager doing the same in his own rebellious period? They are against everything: against their parents, against society, against life,

even against himself. If he reprimanded Mei Duo now, it would be self-defeating if Mei Duo might disappear again.

As a result, Renly adopted a roundabout policy of empathy. Although he is not a father for the time being, he has helped a lot in getting along with the two children recently.

Listening quietly, Mei Duo's eyes could not help but slowly light up again. In those seemingly simple words, there was a wanton and carefree yearning for freedom, and then she couldn't help but start chattering. Share your own experiences and feelings.

In the past few days, Meadows left Los Angeles and came to Calgary. He started hiking in Banff National Park. He was accompanied by three other friends, all young people living in Los Angeles. High school students—it's the middle of the semester, but they're escaping the shackles of the classroom and longing to breathe the air of freedom.

Without making a sound, under the guidance of Renly, Meadow poured out all her experiences and stories in the past, and recounted those wonderful moments of life with great excitement. Pieced together.

After all was said, Mei Duo realized that she had just explained everything about herself, and looked at Ren Li dumbfounded, "This...you...this..." stammered. Knowing what to do, he stomped his feet with a gloomy face, but he still didn't say anything.

Renly didn't refute or justify, he still looked calm and said seriously, "You know, you can tell Paul all these things, he won't object."

Paul himself is an outdoor sports enthusiast. If Meadow is willing to try, Paul will never stop him. Obviously, Meadows had other reasons for choosing to run away from home.

"I know I know." Mei Duo said a little irritably, but didn't know how to express it. She looked at Renly again, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally said her true heart, "I know he is working hard, It's all good, very good, but sometimes it's really good. You know, if I actually ask for it, he'll rarely say 'no' and I'll always get there."

Renly blinked, and this time it was his turn to be confused. "Isn't this... a good thing?"

Adolescents are not just hopeless and lawless. Parents should not only not restrain themselves, but it is best to be their own backing. That is the most beautiful thing in the world.

Meadow didn't mean to joke at all, "But I can't breathe! You know what? He's been so nice to me, I know, he's trying to make amends, but... I don't need it."

"He may not be a good dad, but he's a really good, good friend. I like him, or I wouldn't have convinced my mom to let me come to LA."

"However, he is so urgent, taking care of my thoughts all the time, making me breathless. I hope... I just want to be able to have some personal space, and at the same time I hope he can restrain me like a father. , Forget it, I...I don't know what I want, I don't know."

The amount of information is huge and complicated, and there are some self-contradictions. The foreword didn't match the afterword, and while she was talking, Mei Duo herself didn't know what she was talking about, and she didn't know what she wanted.

It's always like this when I'm young, rushing aimlessly, hitting my head and breaking blood, maybe one day I can find my pursuit, but maybe I will never find it. But the meaning of youth is that at least one has tried, at least collided, and even if it is not found, there will be no regrets and regrets in the future.

Renly calmly cast a glance at Megan, made a gesture, and then quietly accompanied Meghan out of the noisy space; Megan didn't know why—she didn't know how to read minds. , how could it be possible to understand the full meaning of Ren Li, only vaguely understand that Ren Li and the little girl seem to have known each other for a long time, and now they need a little space.

Renly and Meadows didn't go far, they just came to the cornfield not far away to ensure a relatively quiet space for conversation, which was enough.

"Meadow, have you tried telling Paul these thoughts?" Renly said softly after a moment of indifference.

Meadow doesn't know why.

Renly went on to explain, "I don't know exactly how to be a father, and Paul is trying to learn. Also, you don't know what you want, so why not try to communicate?"

When it comes to parenting, Renly has no say. Even in two lifetimes, his experience and understanding are still blank. He can't give correct instructions, but he has his own understanding.

"Trust me, I really, really understand what that suffocating love really feels like." Renly thought of Ding Yanan again.

He had to admit that he once hated Ding Yanan, because her mother's love made him breathless and almost suffocated; but after the passage of time, he realized that no one knew how to be a parent, and no one knew how to be a parent. As a child, everyone stumbles and learns. Even if they make mistakes, so what, at least they are still working hard.

When he dreamed back at midnight, he also thought about whether Ding Yanan's world collapsed when Chu Jiashu passed away? That family affection made him feel suffocated, so why not let her give everything? The two feelings of love and hurt are always mutual.

"It's because he cares too much that he's overwhelmed. Paul is still learning." Renly's eyes fell on Meadows. "Why don't you give him a chance to improve?"

Meadows stood there blankly, without speaking, as if she had fallen into her own thoughts.

Regarding the relationship between Paul and Meadows, Renly is not qualified to speak, because he is not a party, and cannot clearly understand all the ins and outs; also because he is not omnipotent, it is difficult for an honest official to judge housework, and who can assert the relationship between parents and children There is only one correct mode?

"Meadow. I'll tell Paul, you're all right, you're fine. Including everything today, but I won't tell Paul your next whereabouts, because I hope you can tell him yourself. If you still don't want to, Then at least you can send him a text or email and tell him that you are still safe."

Renly expressed his decision in a deep voice.

"I'm on Paul's side, but I'm also on your side. If you still feel embarrassed, you can come and find me at any time. I'm here and I won't leave anywhere."

Meadows raised her head ignorantly and looked at Ren Li, her eyes were still full of doubts and troubles. It was obvious that things could not be figured out in a short time, but she still nodded hesitantly in the end, "I see."

Slowly, Mei Duo turned around and walked away, preparing to return to the group of fans, but she seemed to remember something, turned around again to look at Renly, and said in a loud voice, "Renly... trouble. Please comfort my dad, I don't want to hurt him." Inexplicably, Meadow's eyes became wet, she turned around quickly, and fled the scene in embarrassment.
